The arrangements for the flight and hotel transfer and stay were excellent. We liked the personal care you gave us.
Fantastic experience booking our honeymoon. Dylan was very helpful and helped us to book the perfect holiday. Everything went smoothly and we will definitely be using DialAflight again
The most perfect holiday organised by DialAFlight. Somewhere I had never been so knew nothing about and everything was 10/10
Staff listen to customer needs and wants, excellent service. I've booked many times and never been disappointed
Excellent service. Used the currency converter on the DialAFlight app all the time!
Thank you for the usual highest quality service
Jenson always goes above and beyond. We followed his recommendation and were not disappointed. The Maldives were amazing, the island and accommodation beautiful. Thank you, we will be in touch soon to book our next adventure
Isla was absolutely amazing help and the holiday was perfect

I spoke with Sarah Hole regarding my honeymoon in December - we had to make changes several times. She was easy to get hold of, very flexible and patient. We had a fantastic honeymoon and found all our dealings with DialAFlight easy and professional.

Reece is always so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.
Well done Ralph. 5 Stars
As always Peter Smith was fantastic .. with initial quote/service and follow up making sure our long awaited trip was seamless
There were worries and difficulties arranging and booking tee times. When speaking with a different DialAFlight person I was told this was not something DialAFlight normally did, which was disappointing to hear. This is the second year in a row we have used DialAFlight. In general everything worked out well, but there are times that it got a bit stressful. I would consider using DialAFlight again, but not necessarily as my first choice.
I have been ruined. After
visiting the North Island resort in the Seychelles, I never want to go anywhere
else. It was a holiday that changed me, my husband Paul and our 14-year-old
twin daughters for the better, and at the same time we contributed to making
the island just that little bit better for the locals.
We travelled there during our daughters' half-term. From
the capital Mahe, the easiest way to get to North Island in 15 minutes is by
helicopter. Of course it is!
A SPECIAL PLACE
And of course the island, which measures just five square
miles, has beautiful white sand and the bluest of seas. There are only 11 guest
villas here, all five-star plus luxury, but the wonderful thing is there's
nothing fancy or flashy - no unnecessary in-room gadgets, just simplicity that
enhances the natural beauty of the island.
The combination of barefoot luxury within an exquisite wilderness sanctuary, laden with experiences
and immersive learning about the environment, makes it unforgettable. On our
second night, we'd had dinner on the beach and were heading back to our
villa when, in the dim headlight glow from our buggy, we saw the outline of a
magnificent giant tortoise.
ADOPTING A TORTOISE
What a beautiful creature, almost prehistoric. And there it
was, just a couple of feet from us. There are between 80 and 100 giant Aldabra
tortoises on the island, a breed endemic to the Seychelles. The one we were now
crouching down to admire was about 3ft long and 90 years old.
The next day we were invited to discover more about these
beauties from the passionate environmentalists and scientists who live and work
on North Island.Not only did we learn so much but we also became adoptive
parents to a baby tortoise called Corona. Maybe one day my great-grandchildren
will visit the island and see Corona fully grown.
One night we slept with a telephone next to our beds so we
could be woken if baby turtles, protected within their eggs at several points
around the island, hatched and needed help heading down to the sea. Alas it
wasn't to be on our watch.
NORTH ISLAND HISTORY
In 1997, when The Wilderness Group
bought North Island, it was a wasteland where feral animals and alien plant
species were choking and destroying all indigenous fauna and flora.
The company set out to reverse this
situation, and it has since established a sanctuary where natural beauty, and
threatened flora and fauna, have been saved.
Children throughout the Seychelles
come to stay and experience the island, and there is a constant effort to help
locals improve the environment.
LOCAL ACTIVITIES
I could have spent my week doing very
little but because everything is made so easy we ended up doing things we would
never normally do. I learned to scuba-dive along with the girls, Phoebe and
Theodora - something Paul has been pleading with us to do for years.
One afternoon we went fishing,
trawling from a boat, while Paul and I enjoyed a beer. We caught so many fish
that I barely had time to finish my drink. The chef was waiting to take our
catch straight to the kitchen and an hour later we were eating sushi by
candlelight on the beach.
Each of the 11 villas stretches out on
to powdery white sand and the properties feature a plunge pool, indoor and
outdoor bathrooms, and a kitchen filled with goodies.
Visitors here have included the Duke
and Duchess of Cambridge (on their honeymoon), George and Amal Clooney and
David and Victoria Beckham.
Meals on North Island are what you
want when you want - and more or less, wherever you want to eat them.
On our last night, the team prepared a
surprise for us and led us up a hillside jutting out into the ocean. As we
rounded the hilltop, we found cushions scattered on the rocks, a fire pit, and
tray containing all of our favourite drinks over the past week.
It was a most beautiful occasion in
the most amazing spot, overlooking the sea as the heat faded from the
day.
